Football’s 994 APR also ranks second in all of Division I football (FBS and FCS), trailing only Davidson’s 995.

In addition to the seven teams with perfect APR scores, eight others — baseball, men’s basketball, women's basketball, football, women’s soccer, softball, women's indoor track and field, and women's outdoor track and field — have APR scores higher than the national average of 976.

Women’s basketball has the best APR score in the Atlantic 10 Conference, football has the second-best in the Pioneer Football League and men's basketball is third in the A-10.

“This is in our culture and not something we take for granted,” University of Dayton Vice President and Director of Athletics Tim Wabler said. “It’s a team effort involving our student-athletes, our coaches, our academic support team and the University. Our student-athletes learn during the recruiting process about the opportunities they have here at UD and we’re proud they take advantage of them.”
